Exclusive Article MarketBeat Week in Review – 01/19 - 01/23Submitted by MarketBeat Staff. Published: 1/24/2026. After plunging early in the week on tariff fears, stocks rallied as most economic indicators point to a robust expansion. An in-line November PCE inflation reading, stronger-than-expected jobs data and a final third-quarter GDP print of 4.4% all point to an expanding economy. But precious metals may tell a different story. Gold and silver pushed to new record highs, with some suggesting gold could reach $5,000 and silver $100 by the time investors read this. This suggests investors may be seeking safe havens even as they push many stocks higher. Corporate earnings will likely separate the winners from the losers. Earnings are expected to be strong, but recent reports have shown that forward guidance can be more important than the headline numbers. A little-known government task force just wrapped up a 20-year project, and its findings could unlock access to a massive U.S. national asset. Under existing law, everyday Americans may now have a legal path to participate in what some are calling a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
Details are still flying under the radar, but that may not last. See the full briefing and how it works In Brief - Stocks rallied after a sharp early-week sell-off; most economic indicators show a growing economy.
- Gold and silver hit new highs, signaling that some investors are seeking safe havens.
- Next week, investors will get the next decision on interest rates as well as some of the Magnificent Seven earnings.
The Federal Reserve meets next week and is expected to hold interest rates steady; analysts will listen closely for guidance on the direction of future moves. Plus, many of the largest technology stocks will report earnings. MarketBeat analysts will have every angle covered. Here are some of our most popular articles from the week. Articles by Thomas Hughes Chip stocks have been recovering from a year-end sell-off. This week, Thomas Hughes explained why fundamental and technical indicators, along with bullish analyst sentiment, mean the rally in Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) still has room for investors to get in. Fastenal (NASDAQ: FAST) acts as a bellwether for the economy. After selling off in the back half of 2025, Hughes noted that FAST found support near its 52-week low, and institutions are buying in anticipation that the catalysts for FAST will materialize in 2026. This week many regional banks reported, and one of the strongest reports came from Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: FITB). Hughes noted the company's strong quarter may be a solid lead-in to double-digit upside in 2026, primarily fueled by its acquisition of Comerica Bank. Articles by Sam Quirke Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) had a solid 2025, but the stock has yet to reclaim the all-time high it set late last year. This week, Sam Quirke gave investors two ways to trade AMZN around the company's upcoming earnings report. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) remains a retail investor favorite, and Quirke noted that the debate over earnings will play out among that audience. The battle between future growth and current valuation will be key to the stock's direction after next week's report. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been a market laggard to start 2026, leaving the stock curiously oversold ahead of earnings. Quirke explains why that may present an opportunity for investors. Articles by Chris Markoch Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) won't report until early February, but investors are already speculating on the stock's post-earnings direction. This week, Markoch highlighted the one metric that suggests smart money is more bullish than it appears. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) is limping into earnings. Markoch explains what matters most when the company reports, the challenges to the bullish thesis, and why the stock may offer better value. Markoch also profiled three large-cap biotech stocks that illustrate ways to manage biotech risks while offering catalysts for growth in 2026. Articles by Ryan Hasson Space stocks are expected to have a strong 2026, and Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) could be a leader. This week, Ryan Hasson pointed out that, despite RKLB trading near its all-time high, an analyst raised their price target, suggesting more upside—especially if the stock pulls back slightly. Defense stocks are also expected to perform well in 2026. Hasson highlighted how the modern defense industry will expand drone use and offered investors five defense and drone stocks with momentum for 2026. Articles by Leo Miller Shares of Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) continue to slide despite a solid earnings report. This week, Miller explained why investors remain cautious about the streaming giant and why a long-term bull case may depend on clarity around the Warner Bros. Studios deal. Questions about data center demand persist. Miller highlighted three companies that have used the increased demand for data center infrastructure to boost dividends by up to 60%. It feels like 2021 was a long time ago for Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA). Once a COVID-19 vaccine winner, its shares have been pummeled in recent years. Miller explained why there may be signs of life in MRNA stock after its best print in three years. Articles by Nathan Reiff Biotech continues to attract speculative investors. This week, Nathan Reiff highlighted three under-the-radar biotech names with tangible catalysts that could drive growth in 2026. Warren Buffett has retired, but many investors still watch what Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.B) holds. Reiff pointed out two "Buffett stocks" that look like good bets for 2026, and explained why Berkshire may have sold a well-known healthcare holding. D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) has an impressive growth story. Reiff laid out three reasons to believe the company may be able to press its advantage in quantum computing. Articles by Dan Schmidt Dan Schmidt wrote about defense stocks this week, focusing on three blue-chip defense stocks and why each is positioned for a new normal of geopolitical uncertainty and rising Pentagon budgets. Software stocks came under pressure after Anthropic's latest update to "Claude Code" spooked investors. While exiting the sector may not be advisable, Schmidt suggested three software stocks investors should avoid until the situation settles. Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson To the relief of shareholders, Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) gained on positive AI demand signals. Jeffrey Neal Johnson explained how high short interest could set the stage for a short squeeze that might push SMCI past a key resistance level. Johnson also covered Lemonade's partnership with Tesla to launch Lemonade's Autonomous Car Insurance. This latest innovation may be an early example of how AI could disrupt the auto insurance industry. Riot Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT) was another winner this week after signing a long-term lease with Advanced Micro Devices that validated its Power First high-performance computing strategy. Articles by Jordan Chussler Fund investors should note Jordan Chussler's pieces this week. The GLP-1 weight-loss space will likely keep growing in 2026, but it's getting crowded. Chussler pointed investors to an ETF that acts as a one-stop shop for exposure to the sector. Cloud computing can cause analysis paralysis for investors. As Chussler wrote, investors can instead buy a cloud computing ETF that is up 48% since the market bottom in April 2025. Gold and silver are creating full-blown FOMO for some investors. Chussler highlighted three ETFs that provide exposure to precious metals with the liquidity of equities.
